Notes About The Poem

Until we meet again in Heaven

Seventy-Five

Seventy-five
By Franklin Price

This is your birthday seven five
Three quarters century
Two birthdays since God took you
Now in Heaven without me

You're looking on our savior's face
No pain, no tears, no strife
You believed, so there you are
You now have eternal life

I know you're looking down on me
From your place so high above
Helping me to carry on
Always sending me your love

Happy birthday Barbara
You are still my loving wife
Still have your ring upon my finger
As I carry on in life

I cannot forget your birthday
Or two and fifty years in time
When we meet again in Heaven
Eternal life will be sublime
